19th c. Bonnetière

France, 19th Century

$2,295

The bonnetière was the tall, slim cupboard a Frenchwoman kept her bonnets and linens in, one narrow door for a house where every inch counted. Found in Le Perche and dating to the 19th century, it stands under an arched bonnet top, a single paneled door opening to shelves lined in an old floral paper, on splayed feet over a scalloped apron. And though the floors of the Sylvie estate tilt a little, this cupboard stands perfectly straight. Sylvie keeps it in a bedroom or hall for linens and folded things, the flowered paper a little surprise each time the door swings open.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
